The DG LDA also informed that under the same project the defense road and Kanal Road are also being repaired and rehabilitated. He said, “Under this project, the 5.6km long Defense Road from Labor Colony to Shahkam Chowk is also being rehabilitated and the Canal Road is being repaired.” The project could not be completed by the March deadline because LESCO could not observe a Power shutdown, especially during the holy month of Ramzan to enable the workers and engineers to complete their task in the area of high tension wires of 66 kV, 132 kV, and 220 kV. These high tension wires provide power supply to most of the regions of Punjab.
